    UND and Denver are not going to want to water down the hockey conference they are in.

    WMU and Miami are not going to move to the Summit and ASU certainly would not. Add nothing to the Summit.

    CC, SCSU, and UMD are all staying in conference. Add nothing to The Summit.

    Why would it?

    nchc has 8 schools with 2 total dogs in cc and miami...

    they actually water down the conference...adding st thomas and asu boosts the conference...

    Ok.  How does streaming work?  Are hockey TV rights negotiated with all other Summit sports?  How does media rev get split?  Look at how CAA football affiliates got shafted in the latest CAA deal.  Who decides the format of Summit hockey playoffs?  Is the tournament played at the same time as Summit basketball?  Does NDSU have any say in decisions that affect UND hockey?  

    What does it matter?  Seriously?  At least think a little bit before posting.

    you make it sound like no other conference has affiliates? if you don't like the terms the affiliates are being offered?  hit the bricks CC and jan brady state

    fenton will take are of these issues...easy stuff.

     

  3. quiz the average sioux fan in grand forks and tell him to name the 3 confereces UND is in and sit back have fun........

    ncc, midcon, missouri valley football subdivision conference, pioneer league, big sky, wcha, ccha,  big falls at the summitt, full member of missouri valley confernce.....

    fenton is gonna fix this

    Summit!

    What makes you think that UND wants to fall under the Summit?

    first of all what does it matter.......it's just a name change if no one comes or goes so you save money and raise national awareness/street cred

    second...they are already in the Summit League ffs

    AFA is NEVER leaving Atlantic Hockey, their coach said when asked years ago when the WCHA added Omaha. "Why don't you join the WCHA?" He said "We couldn't compete in the conference with the recruit we can get, and we are competitive in Atlantic Hockey. 

    Time to drop the AFA is leaving Atlantic hockey when it's never happening. 

    coach doesn't call the shots......

    the president does...and times change?

  6. Although a couple of NCHC teams backed the idea of moving under the Summit's umbrella, others balked and it does not appear there's a large enough consensus to make such a move at this time.

    jeez i wonder which schools want to do this (und, omaha, and denver (and st thomas)...and which ones don't ....CC, Miami, Western, duluth, and scsu?

  7. and part of what fenton is doing is trying to lock up St Thomas from jumping ship in five years...He wants them long long term and a hockey conference with larger d1 schools in larger markets will help keep the Tommies around hopefully for a long time

    a hockey conference of all d1 schools would a nice selling point for keeping them around

    UND, St Thomas, Omaha, Denver, ASU, Miami, Western Michigan, and then BGreen or AF would be nice

    and olym of

    UND, NDSU, USD, SDSU, Omaha, Denver, Oral Rob, KC, Western Ill, St Thomas, would be nice

    I think Mr. @Godsmack has a very good point, CC is headed in the right decision, their coach Mayotte is legit. I think CC will continue to be a valued member of our conference. Seriously! The conference isn't going to boot them out. Fenton is running the NCHC anymore. Doesn't sound like the NCHC schools are going to follow under the Summit. 

     

    and you didn't answer the q...what does CC bring to the table thru the eyes of Fenton?

    he is trying to make the Summit a stable conference instead of a revolving door conference and one of those tasks is getting a core group of regionally based schools to stay together instead of jumping to greener pastures (and you can't fault those schools for doing so)...

    and you used the word booted....no one is betting booted...just not "invited". fenton will "invite" the 3 summit schools to join the Summit and St Thomas for a core of 4 and then look to "invite" 4-6 affiliate schools to join the summit league...UMD, SCSU, Miami, W Michigan, Bowling Green, AF, ASU, Minny St, CC ,and  Augie are all in the running for those spots....

    it's a done deal....it's happening soon...

    CC is turning the corner. Mayotte had done a lot already with Haviland’s kids. They did advance to the championship game of the Frozen Faceoff and have shown a compete level they didn’t under the previous leadership. I don’t see CC going anywhere, not to mention, DU would not support getting rid of them either. 

    but you have to look at thru the eyes of a commish (fenton)...what does a d3 school like CC bring to the conference in terms of $, competition, and or eyeballs?  CC really doesn't do anything for summit hockey as an affiliate.

    Even by AF’s own admission, I bet they wouldn’t want to join the NCHC. Between their tough academic standards and the fact that they can only recruit Americans, I think they’re happy in Atlantic hockey where, for the most part, they’ve been competitive.

    Seriously, there's not reason to have this discussion, the NCHC isn't going to add Airforce. If the NCHC added Air Force Acadamy to the conference it would water down the league. 

    agree if you say add AF and you kept cc but if we added AF and dropped CC that's a win for Summit hockey

    Air force isn't joining the NCHC, unless the NCHC added Army. Plus, they'd have a very hard time competing on a year-to-year basis in the NCHC. 

    cc hasn't been relevant for ...........decades?

     i know travel doesn't mean much to AF but....just saying

    probably not...but it's a possibility...plus they can still play army ooc

    The only switch that will happen is

    MIAMI out to CCHA

    ASU in to NCHC

    That's the only realistic change in the 5 to likely 10 year future.

    NCHC under summit or a summit league is not going to happen, it would be foolish and absolutely not in the best interest of UND DU or UMD....  and frankly that's who matter and swing the biggest..... sticks.

    Out past 10 years from now.. who knows, that all depends on the growth of D1 programs in the west, and a different conversation.

    UND etc, isn't going to allow the NCHC to be watered down into an afterthought sport in a plucky low level also-ran league like the summit is in the grand scheme.

    It's not happening, foolish to take it seriously.

    who would you rather have as a conference member (remember you can still play OTHER schools OOC) ......as a fan and as a commish

    Arizona State  or UM-Duluth

    Air Force or CC

    Bowling Green or SCSU

    pretty easy for me....
